firefox black background on frames, divs

[Daniel Donoghue]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Ubuntu 9.04 AMD64
Firefox 3.0.13
I have noticed this problem on googlemail and youtube but it may span to other websites too, where some elements on the page have the background color set to black and there is a zig-zag style border on the left-hand side. It goes back to normal when I change the focus from firefox to another application. I don't know how to reproduce it.

I have the exact same problem. Though I can easily reproduce the problem (the problem seems to not depend on which website you are viewing, as it has appeared on launchpad and the ubuntu wiki sometimes, but not others) when I hit the screenshot key, the the problem goes away.

Running Firefox 3.0.14, on Ubuntu 9.04, amd64, on kernel 2.6.28-16-generic with ATI fglrx drivers.

Forgot to add, same problem occurs in the firefox-3.5 package.

Are you running compiz-fusion because I was when I posted this bug. If you are then it may be a bug with compiz.

[Sean (svz90)]

When I posted the bug, I was running compiz. However, after upgrading to Karmic, the problem seems to have gone away.

Daniel - does this still occur in Karmic? What about in Lucid?
